Dairy Processing
Backed by global scale, local insight and our world-class dairy water treatment solutions, Ecolab helps you reduce water to milk ratios, meet water goals, ensure water quality and safeguard product integrity. All while maximizing productivity.
Wastewater Monitoring, Control and Treatment for the Dairy Industry
With growing pressures to meet discharge water quality standards while reducing total cost of operations and maximizing operational performance, you need smart wastewater management solutions. Nalco Water’s new technology and deep experience can help you achieve environmental compliance at the lowest total cost.
Water Reuse and Recycling Improvements
As demands for better water stewardship increase throughout the world, so will the needs for managing this precious resource in industrial operations. This includes having a better understanding of all the uses of water throughout a dairy processing plant and conserving water when appropriate; finding innovative ways to treat single or combined wastewater streams; as well as recycling of water to improve water and energy efficiency.
Sweet Water Program
An optimized Sweet Water Program is critical to maximizing your milk processing production and protecting both your assets and your brand.
Nalco Water’s Sweet Water Program is a comprehensive approach that combines proven chemistry, analytical services and automation to effectively minimize corrosion and microbiological growth within this critical closed loop.

Recycle Cow Water
In milk processing plants, a large volume of water is generated when the milk is evaporated or concentrated up using either multi-effect evaporator or process reverse osmosis. Since the source of this water is from the milk, it is commonly called cow water. Within milk processing plants, this cow water can be recycled or reused thereby reducing the demand for fresh water.
Customer Success Stories
Circular Solution Helps Nestlé Save Water and Energy in Brazil
A Nestlé milk production plant in southeastern Brazil challenged its suppliers to develop improvement projects that would deliver energy savings and reduce water consumption and CO2 emissions. In particular, the plant was looking for an economically viable way to reuse the condensate organic water (COW) stream generated by the production of powdered milk.
Ice Cream Plant Recycles Process Water and Saves $47,307
After the plant identifies inconsistent condensate quality and high level of condensate hardness, Nalco Water helps them create and implement a water reuse plan that helped them save 11 million gallons of boiler water and save almost $50,000.
3D TRASAR™ Cooling Water Technology Reduce Water at Large Milk Processor
Nalco Water conducted a full Mechanical, Operational, Chemical and Sustainability (MOCS) audit to solve issues for high water consumption, scale formation and cleaning concerns. See how 3D TRASAR Cooling Water Technology delivered effective results.
